Breakdown

Still...
I open my mouth
to scream
and no sound comes out.
No one hears.
I tear at my hair,
I stomp my feet,
I bellow and rail and moan.
No one hears.
Quiet tears trail
a course down my face
and my heart
gentle heart
shatters into a million shards.
No one hears.
No one sees.
Fingernails tear
at my face
my arms
my body,
bloody trails torn open.
No one sees.
I slump on cold stone
battered, broken,
alone.
No one sees.
Invisible...
